The YULA 20-note E Amara handpan unlocks a broad tonal landscape—13 top notes and 7 bottom notes—giving you rich melodic freedom, deep low resonance and the rare ability to traverse groove, ambient slow healing tunes and epic cinematic melodies all on one instrument.
The E Amara scale (a variation of the Celtic/Amara family) is beloved for its intuitive layout, hypnotic minor character and meditative quality. Because of its hexatonic roots and carefully structured intervals, players often say it invites improvisation, intuitive play and emotional connection.
– Wide 20-note range gives you both deep low end (from the 7 bottom notes) and bright, airy top voices—ideal for layering groove, melody and texture.
– Scale versatility: E Amara is known for evoking mood, movement and mystery—with the strength to serve both rhythmic pulse and slow healing immersion.
– Familiar yet fresh: This scale supports familiar, memorable melodies (think cinematic themes or ambient soundtracks) while still giving you a unique voice to explore. The extended 20-note layout lets you reinterpret classics or craft your own epic journeys.

I had a wonderful experience with Melodic Forest from the very beginning.
I first purchased a 10-note D Kurd Riza handpan from them, and when I was ready to progress, I was able to upgrade to a 17-note C Pygmy Yula handpan through their upgrade policy. I really appreciated having that option, as it allowed me to continue my handpan journey without starting over.
Throughout the process, Tiffany was patient, knowledgeable, and never made me feel pressured. She took the time to answer my questions and helped me choose an instrument that suited me rather than simply trying to make a sale.
The craftsmanship and sound quality of my Yula handpan are beautiful. Every note is clear, balanced, and inspiring to play. Their customer service has also been outstanding, even after the purchase, which shows they genuinely care about their customers.
If you're looking for a quality handpan and a team that provides honest advice and excellent support, I highly recommend Melodic Forest. Thank you for making my handpan journey such a positive experience.
The Yula handpan range by Melodic Forest are beautifully crafted instruments. I’m currently playing the Yula 10 note D Kurd premium and it has an amazing magical tone with a deep resonance. The quality of the sound connects you to the handpan immediately. The customer service that I received from Tiffany when upgrading from my Yula 9 note D Kurd to the Yula 10 note D Kurd premium was exceptional. You can really tell that Tiffany cares about her customers experience and is passionate about handpans and the beautiful community of players that she is helping to create. I cannot recommend Melodic Forest enough, thank you Tiffany and the team!
I’ve had a wonderful experience with Little Kalimba, also known as Melodic Forest, and I couldn’t be happier with my handpan.
The quality of the instrument is genuinely impressive, especially for the price. It has a warm, rich and resonant sound, with a beautiful sustain that makes it very enjoyable to play. It feels well made, carefully tuned, and expressive enough for someone who wants to grow with the instrument.
I’ve also been lucky to collaborate with Tiffany and the team, and I can honestly say they have really supported and enhanced my handpan journey. Their encouragement, kindness and openness have given me a platform to explore, share and keep developing my connection with these beautiful instruments, and I’m very grateful for that.
What stands out the most is the genuine care behind the shop. Tiffany and the team have been helpful, accommodating and generous with their time, and you can feel that they truly care about matching people with the right instrument.
I would happily recommend Little Kalimba / Melodic Forest to anyone looking for a handpan, kalimba or other beautiful musical instruments. Great quality, fair prices and lovely people behind the business. A local shop truly worth supporting.🙏❤️
I’ve had Melodic Forest's Yula Handpan 9-Note D Kurd (440Hz, 55cm) for about three months, typically using it in public spaces (not busking or gigs as such) as well as while volunteering in hospital settings.
It’s in tune, and being stainless steel, it has that desired resonate sustain. It responds well to dynamics and to articulations like finger rolls. The shoulder tone has a nice ceramic edge, and the ding has a lovely bloom that doesn’t cover the other tones.
In terms of playability, I can activate most of the harmonics easily (the octave and fifth above the octave). The higher ones (F4, G4 and A4) are still a work in progress, but they’re there, and I’m confident they’ll come with time.
The bag isn’t a hard case per se, but it’s well-padded and secure.
It’s holding up well in a changeable climate (cold to hot with variable relative humidity). I’m following the care instructions and give it some love with Phoenix Oil.
I’d happily buy another from the Yula range - a Hijaz model would be amazing (something like C#3, G#3, B3, C#4, D4, F4, F#4, G#4, B4!).
I have been so impressed by the sound the Yula 10 note d Kurd handpan makes. It’s amazing quality and has excellent sustain. It came very quickly in the mail, packaged and protected perfectly. It came with a hard case carrier as well to protect it. It’s high quality also. The team are also super friendly and helped me work out which handpan to choose. I’m sure I’ll be back at some point to purchase another one in a different scale! If you’re hesitating or on the fence - do it!
I’m so happy with the service,I was given the space to purchase and time to connect with My D Kurd deep sounding Handpan…thank you so much I’ll never forget the experience…💫❤️truly magnificent..
Totally awesome . The sustain is amazing , I cant put this down
Instant relaxation , been late to work a few times just trying to play for 5 minutes ends up being 30 minutes haha .
Thank you Melodic Forest, for my Beautiful YULA Amara F2 9+1 432hz handpan, I finally received it, I have found it to be very calming and enjoyable for exploring my endless choices with my music creation, I am 62 years old and have wanted my own handpan for a very long time, the sound is my therapy to help cope with the recent loss of my beautiful wife, I ordered the (F2 Low) 432hz to perfectly match my 8 Crystal Singing bowls, and when played together it is certainly a peaceful combination, I'm looking forward to many years playing.
This is a fantastic handpan! The sound is absolutely beautiful and it is so easy and enjoyable to play. I am very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful quality handpan.
The delivery was very fast as well. Excellent service!
A remarkably pleasant experience!
The Melodic Forest team made me feel so welcome to the Handpan community. It is my first Handpan experience and my enquiry was dealt with such honesty, reassurance, and warmth. You can truly feel their love for what they do, and it's so nice to know one is supporting local.
The Handpan was delivered swiftly and safely (well protected and covered). The instrument resonates beautifully with a full earthy and warm tone.
My pan arrived and has a lovely tone. I read in the little care pamphlet that it ought to have been supplied with a stand to rest it on, however there was nothing in the box?
I highly recommend the Little Kalimba Shop! I received amazing guidance from Tiffany when selecting a pan and any questions I had were promptly answered and very useful. Customer service was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I will be shopping here for any future pan purchases.
Excellent customer service. Tiffany was so lovely and helpful. My handpan arrived within a few days and it was all I was hoping for. Great quality and sound. So relaxing to play.
My husband is loving his handpan. He was able to play quite well being a drummer. He has been using it everyday and making some lovely music.
I also love it as it goes with our decor in the living area.
Item arrived very well-packed and in perfect condition. Really pleased with my new handpan. The sound is very nice and the drum is well-tuned. Am super happy with my purchase and will definitely buy from the Little Kalimba Shop again! Thank you so much …. 😁
